No archaic promises here. Poetry from the pen of ~The Poet’s Poet~

A wonderful poem from the magical pen of Chris Black, The Poet’s Poet!

Today from the Man Shed

This poem waltzed its way onto the page

Totally
unannounced

Side
stepped poems which were not so eager

Its
movement was swift, in an elegant way

Not
at all like those other poems.

It
had Gucci label stamped all over it

While
those other poems were knapsack poems

On
an ordinary day why of course they would fit the bill

But
for today it had to be dickie bow and
tails

This
poem had structure written all over it

The
discussion of second and consequent drafts

Never
given a thought

Punctuation
– not an issue

This
poem had made the final cut.

Pity
it didn’t fit the poets bill of fare

For
today’s poem

So
one and all, we’ll have to make do with this poem.
